  The young filly trotted delicately through the plains, enjoying the feeling of sunshine upon her intricate fur. Morning had broken, burning away the cool mists and pushing night to the wayside. It was early yet, many animals not entirely awake, but Zara didn't mind - she felt like she could be queen of the plains! And maybe she really was~! With no one around to refute her claims or destroy her imagination, the little unicorn filly could be anything.
"La, la, la, la~!" She sang out softly, not quite ready to put words to the tune she created. The magenta and blue stained lady moved with a graceful air that many her age tended to lack; it was a gift, a talent given to her through her genes. With a gypsy as a mother, there were bound to be attributes other less fortunate foals didn't receive; in Zara's case, she had been given the art of movement and though she was young and didn't quite understand such a thing, she did understand that she was light hoofed and wonderful.
And that was the most important thing!
Giving her blue tail a little swish, the girl paused in her song to look out over the plains. It seemed endless and wild but . . . very much so empty. H ow was a lady supposed to go off adventuring if there was no adventure to be had?
((Sorry for the short beginning! Starting isn't my strong point. x3))

Cal had finally managed to escape his parents watchful eyes 'The perks of having brothers...' he chuckled mentally. He walked amongst the trees tripping on the occasional root he missed. Glancing back to where his parents were his ears perked up at a strange noise, turning his head he followed where he thought the source of the sound was.
He was led to a quickly widening gap in the forest, pausing to scan the horizon he smiled contently. "This would be a great place for training" he happily told himself. He had been wanted a place to practice racing and the plains would be perfect. "Now all I have to do is go straight" he demanded to himself, with a quick paw at the ground and his tongue hanging to the side for concentration he charged foreward. His first few strides were smooth then he began to wind along his chosen path. Skidding to a halt he caught his breath and attempted again.
This time he wasn't as lucky, a few strides in and he spooked a rabbit which jumped directly in front of him. The last few things he saw before he hit the ground was the rabbit... the sky... and finally dirt... Coughing and snorting out the dust, he slowly shifted to a sitting position and watched the rabbit dart off into some tall grass.

Zara blinked as a cloud of dust suddenly rolled up not far from where she wandered. Trees weren't far, signaling the end of the plain, and a rabbit zoomed out in front of her. The little thing had eyes as wide as plates and didn't do anything but veer around Zara and in to a small burrow. Something had obviously been after that cute little fuzzy bunny-head and she demanded to know what~!
It was one thing to play tag and have fun but to bully little creatures - uh-uh! Zara would have none of it! Her little blue tipped tail switched unhappily behind her as she followed the billowing trail of dust to what she hoped might be the source of the attack. The little filly wasn't afraid of things larger than her, like bears or lynx or coyotes, and it didn't occur to her that whatever wanted rabbit might very well want to eat a filly! Zara was the 'tough one' in the family, or so she liked to believe, and her wild spirit wasn't at all easily swayed.
Stomping over, squinting and coughing through the dust, Zara sneezed once before focusing on . . . a colt~! And the strangest looking colt she'd ever seen! Eyes going wide with surprise, her earlier anger forgotten Zara stared at Cal as she tried to figure out what on earth was growing on him. He had two horn like stubs ripping out of his forehead but they weren't at all like her spiral one. He also had weird spines growing out of his back, almost like some sort of crystal. . . .
What funny sort of soquili was this!?
Giving her head a little shake, Zara finally remembered her manners as she trotted around the foal. "Are you all right? That was quite the tumble!" She hadn't witnessed it, persay, but she had caught the dust cloud that it had made. On top of it, the little colt looked mighty disheveled so Zara figured she might as well ask.

He heard the appraoching hoof prints before he saw the stranger approach. His ears perked up as the stranger appeared and asked in a concerned way if he was okay "I think I'm alright..." he glanced back at the path he just ran down, then at the dust which was still settling. "It was quite the tumble" he got up into standing and shook off the remaining dirt.
A huge sneeze quickly followed after causing the poor colt to fall back into sitting. He grinned playfully at the filly then got up "I'm Cal, and you are?" He looked at the filly in front of him 'What a strange tail' he watched the blue tip of it then noticed the horn... he also noticed it was different from the horn that was on himself... or at least that's what he believed they were, and he was interested by the colors and markings that covered her.
Tilting his head he tried to recall if his dad ever mentioned this kind before. He couldn't figure it out so he decided to just ask "ummm.. what kind of Soquili are you?" he grimaced quickly hoping he wasn't being silly for not being able to recall the type she was.

Zara blinked, her blue fluffy tail swishing back and forth as the funny looking colt stared at her. It amazed her that he could look so funny and call himself a soquili - papa had never mentioned about the kind that had fins! Except. . . except whatever ran down his back wasn't a fin. . . . It was something else. Something odd and different and in all honesty weird!
He sure was funny looking. . . . but that's what made him interesting! Maybe mama had never seen a soquili like him before - she certainly would have a lot to tell! And wouldn't all her sisters be so jealous. . . she got to meet a very unique shaped foal, and they would be friends (so long as papa didn't know) and everything would be grand!
But Zara couldn't help but feel a little slighted that he knew not of her or her species. What sort of soquili didn't know about unicorns? They were only the absolute best kind out there. Her tail swished back and forth a bit before she snorted, puffing her chest out in pride. "I'm a unicorn, silly. Haven't you ever heard of us before?" She tilted her head a bit before trotting delicately around his flopped state. "If anything I should ask what you are - I've never seen someone that looks as funny as you." She wasn't trying to be mean or sound cruel, but children often lacked tact.
It as an art she was still learning.

He laughed sheepishly, feeling akward about the question, he couldn't really tell what he was "I really don't know" he at his back then at her "I think my dad said... he was a... mu..tant... mutant" he felt relieved that he at least remembered the word this time. "My mom... is normal" he grinned "that is what my dad said." He stopped and glanced around worried if he really was funny looking.
He flicked his little tail, and gave quick stretch of his forelegs before continuing facing her. He felt rather excited to meet a unicorn, his dad would be so shocked. "So your a unicorn... I was only told about ka..kalo.." he paused trying to catch his tongue "Kalona and skinwalkers" he paused again proud that he managed the mouthful "He also told me he met an ali..corn...alicorn."
He watched her trot around him before he decided to get back up, this time he managed to get and stay up. He glanced around the area once again "Do you come here of...ten?" He then remembered the rabbit it looked around, it seemed to have left the area. He felt pretty good that the little animal was safe.

A mutant? Ooooh - Zara had heard a story or two from Jaslyn about such creatures! It seemed to her that such a thing was rare to come by, and the unicorn couldn't help but be pleased that she was actually talking to one! He seemed a bit clumsy, what with the falling and the dust and the tripping over his words, but maybe he was younger than her! Either way, she was meeting her very first mutant and boy oh boy was she pleased! Pink eyes glittereed with delight as she circled Cal once more, her little bushy tail swishing behind her. "I've heard about mutant's before," she admitted, proud. "My momma tells me all sorts of stories, but I never thought I'd actually meet one!" Another look at the brown foal proved he was indeed different.
She still had no idea what was on his back - it almost looked painful - and the little horns on his head were quite funny too! He was like a little goat! "Kalona and Skinwalkers aren't very good soquili," she admitted, grimacing. Her little features wrinkled and she gave a soft snort, not liking the idea of all the bad ones that roamed the world. Why did there have to be meanies out there like that? Well, she figured stories might get pretty boring without them BUT STILL! They weren't nice. . .and Zara didn't like anything that wasn't nice.
"I am a unicorn though, a pure one too, Papa says!" The filly grinned and gave a little spin, tossing her hair over her shoulder happily. "Don't you think I'm beautiful? Papa says I'm that too! Just like my mama and sisters!" Oh, they were a force to reckon with they were! Beauty ran heavily in her family and the young mare took pride in that fact. She was lovely now and she'd be lovely later. . . Heaven forbid someone argue the fact.
Looking around at the area, Zara gave a small shake of her head. "Sometimes! I . . . I don't really know where I am, actually. I just know it isn't home, home is that way," She flicked her tail in the opposite direction, offering the foal a smile. "Do . . .do you?"

He tried to stay still but watched her as she seemed to circle him. He couldn't help but be fascinated with her swishing tail, and the horn that seemed similar to what covered his own head. He figured she didn't mean no harm and was probably as interested in him as he was with her. "Your mom tells stories?" his ears perked up in interest at the mention of it "What kind of stories?"
He watched her grimace at the mention of the names "Are they really that bad?" he asked trying not to seem as strange as he looked "I've never met one" he paused "I want to" he paused once again before continuing "I wanna ask why they like that." He watched for a response from her. 'They can't all be that bad...'
He puzzled a little bit more, why didn't dad mention them... didn't he know of this kind. Why was he so quiet about the other breeds... He shook his head and focused on his curent companion. "A pure one?" he tried to figure out what that meant "...aren't Unicorns... arn't they all pure?" He had to ask what she was trying to mean. "So your family is all unicorn?" He then clued in "So alicorn... is not?" He was slow, he knew it... but he wasn't dense, it just took him longer. He wondered if he would smarten up eventually.
He nodded quickly "Yes, you have cool markings" he wondered if he sounded pathetic to other colts "I like your colors too" he grinned, as she shook her mane.
"I do that too" he laughed "Dad says I get it from him" he looked back "He lives on the mountain, he then nodded towards another direction "My mom lives by waterfalls." He then looked back at her "Dad says I have better dire...direct...direction."
